Every year the second Sunday in the month of May is celebrated as Mother's Day in India, and in some parts of the world. The day is dedicated to the selfless contribution of mothers, as children try to do all that they can to pamper them. Long posts are shared on social media, where the children usually acknowledge the importance of their mothers. While all these are nice and touching, a little bit of humour never hurt anybody.
